Back-up Camera Spoiler? Automatic with NAV?

Do you automatically get the backup camera and its spoiler when you buy a car with NAV? I wasn't really sure where to begin with a search/which terms to search by, so thanks in advance!

No. They are seperate options. In my own opinion, the reverse camera spoiler is the most perfect spoiler for Mustangs.

Separate options. Even though the back-up cam option is only ~$225.

You can also get the back up camera w/o the electronics package.

Back-up camera is cheaper by about $100 if you have the EP.

If you don't get the EP the backup screen is part of the rearview mirror.

Sorry, I didn't end up getting it. But if it's like any of the other offerings, it's just a tiny square in the rearview.

Thanks,

Ya I was just wondering how it looked in real life on the actual mirror. I will probably get it since these newer cars now have really tall rears compared to the Sn95s.

Great feature to have I don't even have to de frost my back window in the early morning when I am dragging myself to work. The spoiler looks pretty sweet too imo.

Although, without moving parts, there's not much to break there.

True, you have a greater chance at breaking back-up sensors which are actually in your bumper.

C'MON FORD; MAKE AN ACCESSORY PACK THAT INCLUDES THE HOOD/SIDE SCOOPS BUT NO PEDESTAL SPOILER!

Are you referring to another accessory spoiler which is offered or the one in the above pics? I would say for sure that is a flush mounted spoiler and it looks quite well.

Many of those unfuctional hood scoops are actually as tasteful as large wings on Asian cars - in my own honest opinion. They ruin the aerodynamics and increase hood flutter which is not funny at 125MPH. The 70s are over....modern technology, innovative styling, and functionality please. I would rather have a push button start as an accessory over stick on spoilers and winglets.

Only my opinion but I think tech features and innovations are some of the elements needed to sell cars today. Large white wall tires, hood scoops, various wings/side scoops were important in their day and deserves proper tribute in the styling ques on todays cars but it has just been overdone since 2005. Some of those chin spoilers may be mistaken as a snow plow accessory for lowered cars.

All of the "Ford GT Appearance Packages" replace the stock flush GT spoiler and replaces it with the pedestal spoiler, which cancels out the ability to get the rear view camera.

Please show me how the guys with spoiler deletes perform poorly at the track. You can't. Don't kid yourself. ALL of the OEM vestigial "spoilers" offered on the Mustangs do NOTHING for downforce either, you would DO better with a ricer wing on the back of your car -- it would actually be functional pushing down on the end of the car that does the work.

So, take your pick -- fake hood scoops or fake spoilers. They're really about styling, so to each their own. I don't have to worry about hood flutter at 125MPH (200KM/HR); that's double the legal limit here in Canada (100KM/HR). At 32MPH (50KM/HR) over the limit they impound your car, pull your license and good luck getting insured for a Mustang ever again. I would think "hood flutter" would be the least of my worries. In my own honest opinion.
